Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Lyme Disease: Discussion (28 Nov 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: It is not about diagnosis. I just want to be able to advise people not to go abroad based on the numbers of diagnoses, which were proved incorrect last year and the previous year, in order that they would not waste their time fundraising and so on because the chances would be that they were wrong. I am not doing diagnoses or anything, I just want the information to support that. We...

Rose Conway Walsh: What role can our guests play in ensuring that the situation about which I was informed will not be repeated? A person presented to a hospital and the clinician laughed in her face and told her to go home. Subsequently, she attended the surgery of a sympathetic GP who asked whether it could be Lyme disease. The GP performed the test and the result was positive. Is there a role our guests...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Areas of Natural Constraint: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (27 Nov 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: Some of my questions are predicated on what the answers might be to some of the questions that have already been asked. Is the mountain grazing area retained? Also, have the two lowland designations - the more severely impacted and the less severely impacted - been retained? Reference was made to what the Department is directed to do by the EU. What are the Department's areas of...

Seanad: Commencement Matters (Resumed): Special Educational Needs Service Provision (27 Nov 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister for coming to the House. The reason I asked him here today is to highlight the need for an autism spectrum disorder, ASD, unit in Castlebar. Castlebar is the county town of Mayo and it is increasingly an issue that children with autism do not have a place to go in the county. While we have St. Patrick's national school and I commend the other ASD units in County Mayo...

Many parents are enduring significant anxiety because they cannot get basic education for their children. I ask the Minister to meet those parents and listen to them. The voices of parents are often lost in all of...

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Nov 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: As we are beginning the 16 days of action opposing violence against women, I remember the 225 women who have died violently in this State since 1996.

The theme of this year's 16 days of action is femicide, believing the survivors and challenging the myths. As well as...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2018: Second Stage (27 Nov 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister for coming to the House to present the Finance Bill. While I am reluctant to disturb the Mills and Boon like love-in that has been going on in the House since this session started, there are some issues of which we must be mindful. The first of these is the fact that we have 10,000 people who are homeless and approximately 1 million people on waiting lists. We need to...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Nov 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I again wish to raise the matter of drugs that are used to treat rare diseases. There are two main issues here and the first is the lack of transparency within the current system.There is no way of finding out what cost-benefit analysis model is used for these drugs and what negative or positive externalities are used to make an assessment on whether the drugs will be approved. This process...
